The purpose of ECCNAA is to help preserve Nevada's antiquites, encourage the
study of archaeology and to educate the public as to the aims of archaeological research.
Members agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the Nevada Archaeological Association.
We are a group of people who have an interest in archaeology and history.
The group includes professional and amateur archaeologists as well as individuals who simply want to
learn more about the field and who have an interest in Protecting and Preserving our History and Prehistory.
As a group we do many community projects. Activites we have participated in include:
construction of the Northside School exhibit; Peace Park Archaeological Survey; participation in the Cold Creek archaeological excavation,
the Spring Creek Mastodon excavation, the Carlin Chinese cemetery excavation, bringing in Chautauqua
performers and speakers, facilitating hands-on educational workshops and arranging group field trips.
We continue to support educational endeavors including a scholarship endowment at Great Basin College to assist a student
pursuing an anthropological field of study.

Email!
We welcome your comments, questions and ideas!
